You can imagine his reaction when he sees this teenage driver behind the wheel after school, but without a drivers license?
     Hidalgo PD's Reymundo Gonzalez says it's not unusual to find unlicensed drivers in the city. He admits they put the rest on the toad at risk.
     Stephanie Arteaga is originally pulled over for speeding ina  school zone.
It's 20 miles per hour outside Valley View Elementary on South McColl.
Stephanie is zapped at 30 miles per hour. The speedzapper questions Stephanie about her actions.
     It appears to be fun and games on the patrolman's second stop. Listen to Alondra Andrade's excuse after she's zapped at 37 miles per hour in the same area.
     The teenage driver turns down the officer's invitation for an ambulance.     
He believes she's making the whole thing up, as is typical with other young drivers who try to get out of a ticket.
     Officer Gonzalez isn't laughing in either case. Both the sick speeder and the licenseless lady are ticketed. Two teens who this guy says walk a fine line with public safety.
